Hi !! I am Disha Goel. I went through Tech Mahindra 's Selection procedure on 21 Feb. 2007 at GVMIT,Sonepat.
The test consisted of 3 rounds 1. Online Aptitude cum Vocabulary test. 2. Technical Interview. 3. HR Interview.
Online Aptitude cum Vocabulary test
Consists of 5 Sections. You will be described the procedure how to go through the online test..either in ppt or in the test hall.. PLEASE DON'T GO ON EVERYTHING WHAT THEY SAY ...for example....THEY SAID THERE WAS NO NEGATIVE MARKING... bt I had got it 4m freshersworld ,NEGATIVE MARKING IS THERE.. Time :1 hour.abt 70-80 ques. Section 1 : Aptitude (Verbal n Non-verbal) 2 : Logical Reasoning 3 : Fill in the Blanks( with prepositions, verbs, tenses) 4 : Word Meanings etc.. 5 : Comprehension Paragraph (10 Ques) there were variable questions in each section...in one or two it was 10 ques,, in one 15 ques,, n then abt 20 ques in the remaining two..
1. Aptitude was easy but you need to be quite sure with short cut formulaes...profit n loss(short cuts in rs agg) percentage,mensuration,algebra,simple trigonometry, sum of series n nth term type.., time n speed, age
problem,
2. Series completion was asked in many questions( not as easy as R.S.aGGARWAL) Series were like time see this one... 11:32am , 04:31pm, 11:52 am........ sum of times in first one 7, in second- 8, in third -9.. other seies were like a 3x3 matrix ,,find the last alphabet,,, venn diagrams,, child , male , engineers, blood relations.. 20 ques,, i took most of the time in this section b'coz of series... series were mostly on time like things,,there were easy ones also...like squares.. 3. I completed 10 questions here in 5 minutes.. correct form of tenses.. correct use of prepositions at: used with small towns, villages in: big cities, provinces, countries.. we often make mistakes with tenses n prepositions b'coz we hav got out of schools where time was given on grammar things...i would say that even a good school time grammar book can suffice for this section.. 4. word meanings--synonyms,,antonyms etc.. as i was preparing for tcs exam, i was going through barrons..that was easy...sentence correction questions also.. 5.I thought that there wud be comprehension, we were told outside by previous slot students that " 10 questions based on paragraph" so thought to deal with at last. but i got only 7 mins with this section thank God that comprehension was easy in this 10 questions like fill ups were given which really helped me to go thru this only in 5 mins....
